TheFunPolice Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 I just don't understand this year's defensive issues. It would be one thing if they were just awful all year, but they had some VERY good games against great offenses too. The Colts game they pulverized the Colts offense. It wasn't even a close game. The Colts couldn't do ANYTHING. And that was with a fully healthy Luck. The next week they couldn't even slow down NE* Then look at the MNF game in NE*. Brady (who at that point had been leading a totally unstoppable offense) was getting smacked around, throwing his helmet on the sidelines, swearing at everyone. I fully expected him to drop onto his back, ball his little fists, and start kicking his feet screaming "it's not fair! It's not fair dammit!" Then the next week the defense can barely slow down Checkdown Alice. So wildly inconsistent. HOW can they show up like that vs NE* then be so bad for weeks after? Obviously Rex is capable of coming up with defensive plans that work (see MNF NE*). So does he only try certain weeks? I'm half kidding. What about the players? Suddenly guys who were invisible for half the season look like all-stars. Effort? Scheme? Chemistry? A bit of both? If THAT MNF defense showed up for the second half of the season I think the Bills would be playing this weekend in the Divisional round. To get to this weekend, they would have had to beat the Texans (lol) or the Bengals, minus their QB. Something very odd was happening with this defense, and I fully trust that Rex will get it fixed.
